You seem to be open minded in matters of religion but not everybody thinks like you

Thank you, Ma'am.  I like your unique monicker and yours posts in the Pets category.  I'll have to read more of your Redhead posts and check out your other blogs, too.  There's nothing nicer than a mutual admiration society.

I really like your view.
You seem very balanced and open. I look forward to learning more from you.

I'm talking about faith that stands against all slings and arrows, that endures and grows while not allowing itself to be shaken by the temptations of others or the persecutions of those who say everyone must believe "Exactly as I believe or you are wrong and damned to hell."  I have accepted Jesus -- the One who taught the Golden Rule and reduced all the laws of the prophets and the Ten Commandments into two -- the man who was loving, forgiving, and wise in the face of orthodoxy.  I accept the example of One who taught mercy and led by example.  No offense, but I'm more than a little bit frightened by people who say accept this man while quoting scripture that He never endorsed.  Religious Fundamentalism and Right Wing Politics, which too often appear to be one and the same, scare the hell out of me.  

Okay, I've stepped off my soapbox.  It's always nice to hear from a new voice, especially when you're still pretty new yourself.  I read all your blogs and really liked the one in Health.  It's closer to poetry than anything I've been able to write.

Shit!  This crowd is to intellectual for me.  I think I'm going to take my ball and go home.

Nah, everyone knows that.  There was a colouring book about it that came free with Frosties.  It was ggrrrrreat!

Damn!  I thought I was the only one around here who knew who the author of the Bible was.

Apparently The Bible was written by an Egyptian woman called Peter.  Anyway, to cut a long story short, I partially agree with you on one of the things you said.  I think.  I've pretty much forgotten my original point.
